Influential Chinese school board left out in deciding jawi learning, says Dr Wee

KUALA LUMPUR: The Cabinet's decision to allow Year Four pupils to decide whether they want to learn jawi writing from next year has raised eyebrows, says Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.

The MCA president said the Pakatan Harapan government has also undermined the influence of the Chinese primary school board of directors, who are not part of the decision making process.

He said the Cabinet, by making pupils one of the three decision makers in the learning of jawi writing, besides their parents and the school's parent-teacher associations (PTAs), has raised pertinent questions.
